Laura Montgomery, Director, The Mary L. Fifield Art Gallery at Bunker Hill Community College—Juror, Biography
Laura L. Montgomery earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts-Boston in 1982. She was a UMB Art Department major and received certificates in Communications and Women’s Studies. Montgomery received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Media and Performing Arts through the Studio for Interrelated Media Department at the Massachusetts College of Art in ’92. She also completed graduate course work in Critical and Creative Thinking and Instructional Media at UMass/Boston. Her background in studio art making includes photography, site specific installation, word and text as art, and assemblage collage/sculpture. Her work has been included in exhibits at the Federal Reserve Bank, The Boston Public Library, UMass Harbor Arts Gallery, Radcliffe College’s Bunting Institute, Mobius, Boston Center for the Arts Mills Gallery, Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery, The Artist’s Foundation Gallery, and The Karl Schurz Haus German-American Institute, Freidburg, Germany among others.
Having cut her teeth in the art world as a volunteer and later a work study student at UMB’s Harbor Arts Gallery, she has been involved in the start-up, management, and operation of galleries ever since. Most notably her gallery affiliations have been as founding member of B.Y.O.A. (Bring Your Own Art) a gallery collective with a no barriers to exhibiting art philosophy, Grand Central Arts at Central Congregational Church, and currently as Director of the Bunker Hill Community College ART GALLERY where she has mounted more than 53 exhibitions in the last 9 years supporting the work of more than 1000 individual artists. Montgomery is also an Adjunct Professor of Art History in the BHCC Visual and Media Arts Department and has taught a variety of arts and media courses at North Shore Community College, Mass College of Art, The Social and National Institute, Saudi Arabia.
Montgomery was the first curator to include Lou Jones’ Final Exposure, Portraits from Death Row photographs in a gallery exhibit, several years later mounting a solo exhibit of the entire essay at BHCC as the death penalty bill debate was waged and defeated in Massachusetts. Similarly she is the only curator to mount a gallery exhibit of the work of nationally acclaimed and long-time Boston Globe photographer, Bill Brett. Montgomery is regularly sought as a consultant for art gallery start-up & management best practices, community building through the arts, emerging artists’ motivational talks, and is a frequent exhibitions juror.

Bancroft Gallery: National Juried Show • Love—Juror: Eric Aho
Eric Aho is an American painter known for his gestural, abstracted paintings that evoke natural forms. While Aho works from his impressions of the landscape, he also draws upon major pillars of art history—such as works by De Kooning and Goya—to define his compositions.
Recent solo exhibitions include Eric Aho: In the Landscape at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC (2013); Translation at DC Moore Gallery in New York City (2013); Transcending Nature: Paintings by Eric Aho at the Currier Museum of Art, New Hampsire (2012); and Eric Aho: Ice Box at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center in Vermont (2009).
His work is included in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, CA; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; among others. Aho’s paintings have also been shown internationally in Ireland, South Africa, Cuba, Norway, and Finland, among others.
